Jährlicher Zubau und Rückbau von #Balkonsolarleistung in Deutschland mit Stand vom 03.07.2025.
Unplausible Inbetriebnahmedaten von 1900 bis 2015 wurden durch das Registrierungsdatum der #Steckersolaranlage ersetzt.

In 2020, there were some people who marveled at how China built hospitals quickly to handle the start of the pandemic.
Now, some people are marveling over how the US has quickly built a camp in the Everglades to concentrate people.
There are many issues with how China runs itself as a country, and denies human rights to people.
But so too, there are issues with how the US runs itself as a country, and denies human rights to people 😳
The heart breaks.

Measurement of the Positive Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment to 127 ppb
A new measurement of the magnetic anomaly $a_μ$ of the positive muon is presented based on data taken from 2020 to 2023 by the Muon $g-2$ Experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL). This dataset contains over 2.5 times the total statistics of our previous results. From the ratio of the precession frequencies for muons and protons in our storage ring magnetic field, together with precisely known ratios of fundamental constants, we determine $a_μ = 116\,592\,0710(162) \times 10^…

“A cautionary history: In 1999, the US coal industry claimed that information technology would need half the nation’s electricity by 2020, so a strong economy required far more coal-fired power stations. Such claims were spectacularly wrong but widely believed, even by top officials. Hundreds of unneeded power plants were built, hurting investors. Despite that costly lesson, similar dynamics are now unfolding again.”

Temporally Extending Existing Web Archive Collections for Longitudinal Analysis
The Environmental Governance and Data Initiative (EDGI) regularly crawled US federal environmental websites between 2016 and 2020 to capture changes between two presidential administrations. However, because it does not include the previous administration ending in 2008, the collection is unsuitable for answering our research question, Were the website terms deleted by the Trump administration (2017--2021) added by the Obama administration (2009--2017)? Thus, like many researchers using the Way…

Climate impacts and monetary costs of healthy diets worldwide
About 2.8 billion people worldwide cannot afford the least expensive foods required for a healthy diet. Since 2020, the Cost and Affordability of a Healthy Diet (CoAHD) has been published for all countries by FAO and the World Bank and is widely used to guide social protection, agricultural, and public health and nutrition policies. Here, we measure how healthy diets could be obtained with the lowest possible greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, in ways that could further inform food choice and poli…

May 2025 was the 2nd warmest on record globally, at 1.4°C above pre-industrial temperature. In 1980, the anomaly for May was still only around 0.5°C.

ich habe ein Packster Lastenrad.
Bei dem musste 2020 nach etwa drei Jahren die Federgabel getauscht werden (in einer Fachwerkstatt). Die neue Gabel hatte dann eine Steckachse, also musste auch noch ein neues Vorderrad her.
Seitdem hatte ich beim Fahren damit immer ein schlechtes Gefühl!
Vorgestern ist mir aufgefallen, dass die Speichen zwar gekreuzt, aber nicht "übereinander" sind, alle, konsequent. Von einer Radwerkstatt so durchgeführt.

Quantum Radar and Research Assessment
Quantum Radar was studied in many Nations for about fifteen years with the production of some hundred publications. In the post 2020 literature, it is shown that, due to the exceedingly low transmitted power, Quantum Radar cannot produce neither significant results nor real world applications. Regrettably, most of the scientific community ignored this negative outcome: a fact worth of exam. A detailed study of such an assessment failure depicts the main shortcomings of the present situation, ca…

(2020) Want to reduce the carbon footprint of your food? Focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local #environment

You want to reduce the carbon footprint of your food? Focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local
“Eat local” is a common recommendation to reduce the carbon footprint of your diet. How does the impact of what you eat compare to where it's come from?

When DJ Cummerbund made this mashup in 2020 I did take notice that one of the acts was "BTS Skytrain" but I just assumed this was just some strange relative of Korea's BTS.
Shame on me for not knowing or at least spotting that it was an actual promotional video for Bangkok's mass transit system - which also means I was not able to tell the difference between Thai and Korean people.
My only defence is that they are wearing masks but still…

Detection, attribution, and modeling of climate change: key open issues
The CMIP global climate models (GCMs) assess that nearly 100% of global surface warming observed between 1850-1900 and 2011-2020 is attributable to anthropogenic drivers like greenhouse gas emissions. These models also generate future climate projections based on shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs), aiding in risk assessment and the development of costly Net-Zero climate mitigation strategies. Yet, the CMIP GCMs face significant scientific challenges in attributing and modeling climate change,…

Pricing Carbon Allowance Options on Futures: Insights from High-Frequency Data
Leveraging a unique dataset of carbon futures option prices traded on the ICE market from December 2015 until December 2020, we present the results from an unprecedented calibration exercise. Within a multifactor stochastic volatility framework with jumps, we employ a three-dimensional pricing kernel compensating for equity and variance components' risk to derive an analytically tractable and numerically practical approach to pricing. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to provide an…

Julia Doubleday on the gamble that covid would be harmless to children
"It’s worth noting that at the time Kulldorff and the rest of the GBD crew were proclaiming COVID’s harmlessness to kids, they couldn’t possibly have had enough information to determine the veracity of their own claims. Viruses like the chickenpox, EBV, HIV, HPV, and HSV often present with mild initial infections but may cause major damage years later. We now know COVID can as well.
"For so-called experts to run with an assumption that an initially mild-presenting acute infection would be long-term harmless was just that; an assumption. They were willing to gamble the health of a generation of children on a guess in order to go “back to normal” because that’s what the oligarchy clamored for. Because it costs money to shut the world economy down. Because people who mattered were angry. Because children aren’t people who matter."
(GBD = Great Barrington Declaration, a bit of 2020 propaganda including the unfounded supposition that everyone who caught covid would be immune forever after)
Overall another excellent pointy article!
